Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at this cosy cabin. Super easy check-in and so wonderfully clean with beautiful cut flowers from the garden. Kids loved the bunk beds but found the mattress a bit hard. The water was tricky to get right for the shower but nothing unmanageable. Loads of things to eat/cook with in the kitchen but I’d buy food on the way if planning to eat in from Hilo or Kona as there is super limited food options at Volcano. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend this wonderful home away from home.
This was a nice, cozy cabin! We loved the proximity to the Volcano National Park, the fire stove heater, and the lush vegetation. We did wish the host responded to our question about trash and that the hot tub got hotter. Overall, solid stay.
This place was so much fun. So magically tucked away from the rest of the world. We loved returning to this place after several days of hiking, swimming and exploring around the island. The property was exactly as advertised. Comfortable, clean, and perfectly located for Volcano National Park. Due to its proximity, we were able to be one of the first to the park when the volcano began to erupt!Zero complaints!
Loved every thing about the stay. Hot tub was a big hit for the kids
The whole family loved our stay at this cute and cozy cabin in the rainforest. The cabin is well stocked with everything you need and we enjoyed the gas fireplace and the hot tub. The cabin is close to restaurants, a market, and Volcanoes NP. Ten out of ten we recommend!
We loved our stay! We hung out in the mossy, cushy lawn for hours. Furniture and beds were comfy and kitchen pretty well equip. We loved the jacuzzi! Such a cute, quite neighborhood. We walked to the store and nearby ohelo cafe. We also biked to the neighborhood farmers market on Sunday. Close to the park. We didn't even want to leave because it was so relaxing just hanging out and looking at the surrounding Forrest.
This is the most perfect place to stay in Volcano. It is remote, set within the gorgeous lush rainforest, yet if you have a car you can see everthing you would want to see. VERY comfortable and private, stocked with housewares, blankets, towels, and shower supplies, games, instructions and suggestions. The host is available and very helpful. I would suggest buying distilled water because all the island's water supply is rainwater. There is a water filter pitcher available if you are okay with the rainwater. The place is truly a wonderful home away from home. And the Big Island is a magical land, deeply spiritual and steeped in history and tradition. There is something for everyone. Aloha!
This home is a gem set in a lovely tropical garden. It's comfortable, roomy--large windows let in light and lush views of the surrounding garden. Sun in the morning on the front porch and mid-afternoon on the back deck. We used the wonderful hot tub nearly every day of our week-long visit. Songbirds sang and pheasants visited every day. Living room furniture was comfortable and NOT worn. The bed was firm and comfy. The vases of fresh anthurium were a lovely touch. The close proximity to the national park was a plus.
Unfortunately, the poor quality of dishware in the kitchen (red paint peeling off wine glasses, old, plastic plates, foodstuff cooked onto the bottom of a saucepan, badly scratched other pans, at least one sticky cabinet shelf, etc) pulled this 5-plus star rental to a 4. The owner/manager said replacing these items is his number one priority. I hope he does.
We loved this rainforest hideaway for wildlife viewing and exploring the park. Well equipped. Kiddo enjoyed the games and family movie nights when the rain came in. Hot tub is a bonus too. Just be aware that there's no covered area for grilling or eating outside.
This cabin is comfortable and extremely well outfitted, everything we needed was there. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, all the pots, pans, baking, crock pot, rice cooker, coffee pot, etc., etc. The hot tub was the perfect temperature and immaculately clean. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Just a lovely cozy cabin tucked in a gorgeous rainforest setting. Waking to the birds chirping and listening to the frogs at night was charming.
This is in a rainforest and the environment is damp. We come from Oregon so damp is something we are pretty used to but not necessarily tropical damp. Run the dehumidifier at night, I noticed the damp at night only.
The proximity to Volcanos National Park (5 or so minutes) is perfect, especially for a quick trip after dinner and dark to see the glow of the lava lake, a sight not to be missed.
Amazing place. Quiet and secluded, just the birds and the rainforest. Awesome hot tub, close to the National park, and all the amenities you need.
Great choice if you are visiting Volcano Park. It is just like in description and pictures.
